  • Abstract
    Built-in-self-repair is an enabling approach for improving memory yield in system-on-chip designs. Reducing the overhead of repair circuits while minimizing the test and repair time is of prime importance. This article presents a fast parallel repair methodology for SoC memory cores and an associated automation framework.
